This MC is so original

After hearing the lady's voice, Kamisato Ayaka closed the information in her hand and asked the lady with some fear and confusion.

"Aren't the Fatui a diplomatic envoy of Winter Solstice? Why are you meddling in the internal affairs of Inazuma? Why are you so insistently demanding help in the negotiations? This seems to be somewhat different from your usual behavior."

The woman smiled calmly and said, "The Fatui are not only responsible for Zhidong's diplomatic work, but also for Zhidong's business outside of the country. We also have a considerable business in Inazuma, and the battle between the shogunate army and the rebels has affected the Fatui's business. Is it enough to help negotiate peace just to make money?"

Kamisato Ayaka narrowed her eyes. Although the lady's excuse was a bit far-fetched, it was reasonable enough.

However, no one knows how the Fatui managed to get them to participate in the peace talks successfully.

What made Kamisato Ayaka feel even more tired was that matters like peace talks with the rebels should have been handled by the Tenryo Bugyo, or at the very least, by the Kanjo Bugyo, and it was definitely not the turn of the Kamisato family's community Bugyo to handle it.

It seemed that an extraordinary figure appeared in Inazuma Castle, causing chaos in the castle within a day. Kujo Sara, the Tenryo Bugyo, was ordered by the Shogun to capture the wanted criminal, while the Kanjo Bugyo had to continue to enforce the isolation order on the outlying islands, so the negotiation fell on the shoulders of their Shōryo Bugyo.

Not to mention, Kamisato Ayaka has never dealt with such a thing before, and now there are even more Fatui executives involved, which really gives her a headache, but she has to deal with it.

After leaving the tent, the lady was about to get on a carriage with Kamisato Ayaka to go to the place agreed in advance to negotiate with the rebels, but before getting on the carriage, the two were attracted by a commotion in the camp.

"What seems to be happening over there? I'll go over and take a look first, wait for me."

Kamisato Ayaka saw the soldiers gathered together and heard the faint sound of weapons being drawn, which made her a little uneasy, so she walked over there.

The lady had nothing to do and wanted to learn more about the internal information of the shogunate army, so she followed over.

"excuse me."

Kamisato Ayaka and the lady walked to the edge of the encirclement and spoke to the soldiers around them. When the soldiers saw that it was Kamisato Ayaka coming, they consciously made way for her.

When the soldiers standing in the innermost circle saw Kamisato Ayaka, one of them quickly came forward to report, "Sir Kamisato, we've caught a sneaky guy. He's been lingering outside our tent. We caught him red-handed. What should we do with him?"

"A spy?"

Kamisato Ayaka frowned and looked over, only to see Lu Xiu standing calmly in the circle of soldiers, even raising his eyebrows towards Kamisato Ayaka, full of provocation.

When Kamisato Ayaka saw Lu Xiu's attitude, she frowned in displeasure.

I didn't expect that this person would still provoke me so brazenly after being caught. He is simply lawless!

The lady next to him raised her eyebrows when she saw Lu Xiu. She didn't expect Lu Xiu to appear here.

"Detain this man and interrogate him after I return."

Kamisato Ayaka took a deep breath and gave an order to the soldiers beside her.

Although Lu Xiu behaved very arrogantly, the important thing now was to complete the peace talks with the rebels. Lu Xiu could have waited until she came back to interrogate her.

"Please wait a moment, Miss Kamisato."

Seeing that the soldiers were really going to imprison Lu Xiu, the lady was afraid that Lu Xiu would start a massacre here and ruin the Fatui's plan, so she had no choice but to stand up.

Seeing the lady trying to defend this arrogant man, Kamisato Ayaka turned around with some displeasure and said, "Madam, this is an important matter within my shogunate army. It seems you have no right to interfere, right?"

The lady also looked helpless. The task assigned to her by the doctor did not require her to act so high-profile, but in order to avoid any accidents, she had no choice but to do so.

"He is my subordinate. I'm sorry for causing you misunderstanding. He just came to report some things to me."

The lady tried to make up an excuse to get away with it, but Kamisato Ayaka looked unconvinced after hearing it.

"If he's one of your men, why didn't he inform us beforehand? He's sneaking around our camp. Could it be that you, the Fatui, have some ulterior motive?"

The lady felt wronged. They, the Fatui, did have evil intentions, but they hadn't even started yet!

Lu Xiu is not one of their Fatui, but now that things have come to this, the Fatui can only take the blame for now.

Lu Xiu was also a little surprised that the lady would explain it this way. He had come to Nazui Beach not long ago, opened the small map to confirm the location of the forces of both sides, and was thinking about which side to offend first. As a result, he saw that the lady, an old acquaintance, was mixed in with the Shogunate Army. So he thought of coming here to cause trouble on the Shogunate Army's side first, so he did not disguise himself.

Unexpectedly, the lady spoke up to defend him.

It seems that the Fatui are also planning to do the same thing as him.

Chapter 162: Planning for Trouble

"Miss Kamisato, can I have a private conversation with him?"

The lady looked at Kamisato Ayaka with a pleading look, which surprised Kamisato Ayaka a little.

The lady is a very strong woman. This was the conclusion Kamisato Ayaka came to when she first came into contact with her not long ago. And now that the other party actually looked at her with such a pleading look, it meant that the other party was the first to back down in this matter.

After a moment's thought, Kamisato Ayaka turned around and waved to the soldiers surrounding Lu Xiu, and the soldiers obediently made way.

The lady then nodded gratefully to Kamisato Ayaka, walked up, grabbed Lu Xiu's arm, and anxiously pulled him to a secluded corner.

After glancing around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, the lady whispered, "Why are you here again?!"

"Of course I'm here to cause trouble. Why? Are you not welcome?"

"How could I possibly welcome you? I'm undercover. If you keep coming to me like this, you might expose me! Luckily, Kamisato Ayaka didn't allow it this time, so the rest of the Fatui couldn't get in. Otherwise, if the Fatui saw you, who knows what the doctor would think!"

"That's your business. Know your place, ma'am."

Lu Xiu stared at the lady's face with displeasure and snorted coldly, "I didn't intend for you to be an undercover agent in the first place. It was Keqing who told you to make use of your remaining energy. Otherwise, you would be a cold corpse lying somewhere in Mondstadt by now! Do you understand?"

The lady was suddenly speechless, her hands clenched, her teeth gritted, and she was unable to speak for a moment.

The silence lasted for a while, and then the lady suppressed her anger and asked again, "So, what instructions do you have for me this time?"

Lu Xiu nodded, but then shook his head. "I just happened to come here, but I noticed you were here so I stopped by to learn about the latest developments of the Fatui. Seeing that you're now in the Shogunate Army, I think it's related to the peace talks between the Shogunate Army and the rebels?"

The lady nodded. "The Fatui don't want the peace talks to succeed. I was originally planning to do this, but now that you've come to me, I'll do my best to make them succeed."

Before Lu Xiu could even open his mouth to speak, the lady directly assumed that Lu Xiu was here to ruin the Fatui's plan, and she expressed her attitude directly.

But Lu Xiu shook his head and said, "No, you continue to follow the Fatui's plan to disrupt the peace talks between the two sides."

"what?"

This confused the lady, who couldn't help but remind her, "The Fatui are trying to sabotage the peace talks between the Shogunate and the rebels! If the talks break down, the war will resume, and Inazuma will be plunged into the chaos of war again. You don't want to see that happen, do you?"

Lu Xiu, however, looked at the lady with a strange expression: "What does this have to do with me? Even if Inazuma destroyed the country, it has nothing to do with me. This is not Liyue."

Only Liyue gave Lu Xiu some sense of belonging, and in Lu Xiu's eyes, Inazuma was just a strange country that he had just come into contact with a few times.

The lady was a little confused, but since Lu Xiu said so, she just needed to do as he said. It would be easier, and she would also be able to explain to the doctor later.

"Tell me, how did you originally plan to disrupt the peace talks between the two sides?"

Lu Xiu became interested in the lady's plan.

The lady didn't hold back and directly stated her plan: "I've arranged for several Fatui to infiltrate the resistance. When the time comes, they will directly attack the peace talks, sparking a dispute between the two sides and thus ending the talks."

"It's a very simple and crude plan, but the effect is not guaranteed."

Lu Xiu suddenly had an idea and grinned at the lady, saying, "Why don't you let me help you, the Fatui, with this favor?"

The lady frowned upon hearing this and asked, "You want to help? Why?"

"No reason, it's just that I don't want to see these two forces negotiate now. I'm still hoping for another fight between them."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Just follow your original plan first, and leave the rest to me."

"alright."

The two chatted briefly for a while and then ended the topic. If they talked for too long, it would arouse Kamisato Ayaka's suspicion.

"Ms. Kamisato, we can go now."

Seeing the lady and Lu Xiu coming back from the corner, Kamisato Ayaka looked at Lu Xiu carefully and asked, "Is your subordinate also going to the peace talks with us?"

The lady glanced at Lu Xiu and said thoughtfully, "If you don't want to, Miss Shenli, I can ask him not to go with you."

Anyway, even if Lu Xiu doesn't go with us, he will sneak over there secretly, so it's not a big problem.

Originally, Kamisato Ayaka was unwilling, but since the lady said so, she found it difficult to refuse.

"Alright, let's go together. But I hope that when we get to the peace talks, ma'am, you can manage your men well and stop sneaking around like you did before. If the rebels misunderstand you and delay the talks, General Raiden won't let you off easily, even if you're from the diplomatic corps."

The lady smiled and nodded, "Of course I understand this. Please rest assured, Miss Shenli."

"Okay, let's set off."

Kamisato Ayaka waved for another carriage to come, and asked the lady and Lu Xiu to get on one of them, while she herself got on the other.

On the way to the peace talks in a carriage, Lu Xiu asked the lady, "Who is the representative from the resistance?"

"The Coral Palace's current human goddess, Coral Palace Heart Sea, is also the supreme leader of the resistance army."

Lu Xiu was a little moved and asked the lady again: "Supreme Leader, if something goes wrong with her, what will happen to the resistance army?"

The lady answered without hesitation, "If something happens in the Heart Sea of ​​Coral Palace, the resistance will naturally be in chaos."

After answering, the lady realized something was wrong and quickly added, "You're not going to attack Coral Palace Xinhai, are you? She can't die now!"

"Why?" Lu Xiu was puzzled. "Why are you Fatui suddenly so concerned about other countries' forces? This is not like you."

The lady replied somewhat helplessly, "This is part of the doctor's plan to disrupt Inazuma. As the largest force disrupting Inazuma, the resistance army cannot do without Coral Palace Heart Sea. Coral Palace Heart Sea has played a huge role in the resistance army surviving the siege of the shogunate army all these years. If she dies, the resistance army will collapse in no time, and they may not even have the courage to fight back against the shogunate army."

If they don't dare to fight back against the shogunate army, it will indeed not be in line with Lu Xiu's purpose.

"Well, it seems that we really can't kill her."

It seems that the only way is to find another way to turn the rebels into hostiles.

Chapter 163: Peace Talks Begin

It was unknown how long the carriage had been driving. The scene outside the window changed from the endless jungle to the beach by the sea. The beach was full of burning debris. From time to time, you could see groups of shogunate soldiers walking along the beach, recovering the arrows that had missed the target.

You can even see quite a few shogunate troops collecting the bodies of their compatriots.

Every time they saw a new corpse, the soldiers in charge of collecting it would curse the rebels as beasts. It was obvious that they were quite dissatisfied with these rebels who started the war during the Heian period.

The lady, sitting in the carriage, saw Lu Xiu looking at her with his head tilted. She sneered and said, "You're not going to have any sympathy and change your mind about ruining the peace talks, are you?"

"What are you talking about?"

Lu Xiu sneered and said, "This war happened entirely because of General Lei Dian's oppression. As long as she doesn't understand this, even if the peace talks are successful and the rebels are recruited, there will still be resistance forces like the uprising in the future."

The lady nodded in agreement. Although she disliked Lu Xiu as a person, and the humiliation he had inflicted on her after defeating her, and now forcing her to become his undercover agent, she always remembered these humiliations in her heart.

But what Lu Xiu said made a lot of sense. General Lei Dian was wholeheartedly pursuing eternity. In order to prevent any variables in eternity, he even recovered all the Eyes of God given by the gods. However, he did not expect that this would become the biggest variable.

After chatting for a while in the carriage, the carriage soon arrived at its destination.

Lu Xiu, Kamisato Ayaka, and the lady got off their respective carriages, and as soon as they got down, they found that the atmosphere at the scene was full of tension.

Although due to the agreement, the number of soldiers and generals led by both sides in this negotiation area is not large, the total number of people on both sides is about two hundred.

The soldiers of both sides lined up in a row, staring at each other with hostile eyes. If the leaders of both sides had not been planning to hold peace talks here soon, the soldiers of both sides would have probably already started fighting.

"This doesn't look like a negotiation at all."

Lu Xiu watched the scene from the side as if it were fun, and commented with a slight smile.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Both sides have friends and family members who died at the hands of the other side. It's impossible to expect them to just let go of their hatred and laugh happily."

Kamisato Ayaka walked up to Lu Xiu and explained something, then stared at him with a warning look, but with her pretty face, it was hard to dislike her.

"I don't know how you, the Fatui, managed to get involved in these peace talks, but I hope you can stay quiet and honestly by my side and not cause me any trouble. Otherwise, if you're asked to leave, both sides will lose face. Do you understand?"

Lu Xiu smiled, crossed his arms, and nodded repeatedly: "I understand."

Kamisato Ayaka looked at Lu Xiu's smiling face and frowned in displeasure. She found it hard to believe that Lu Xiu really understood, so she had no choice but to turn around and remind the lady.

"Remember to take good care of your men."

The lady also imitated Lu Xiu and laughed.

"My 'subordinates' are not very honest. All I can say is, try your best."

The lady who had been very respectful to her in the city suddenly became rude here, which made Kamisato Ayaka frown and wonder if she had any plan. She secretly raised her guard in her heart and walked towards a tent in the center of the two armies, which was specially prepared for peace talks.

After Kamisato Ayaka walked over, the lady did not rush to follow her, but turned around with her arms crossed and looked at Lu Xiu with interest.

"So, what do I need to do next?"

Lu Xiu held his chin in his hand and asked without turning around, "How did the Fatui originally plan to disrupt this peace talk?"

"Well, it's about creating some minor disruptions during the peace talks, angering both sides, and thus achieving the goal of sabotaging the talks."

"That would be too boring. Let me give you these things."

Lu Xiu turned around and stuffed a set of TNT into the lady's hand. The lady was stunned at first when she saw the TNT suddenly stuffed into her hand, but she quickly recognized what it was.
